It was his decision to go to Afghanistan to seek a cure for his various addictions (yes folks the place world famous for such treatment) and goodness me what a shock he got being arrested. It is such a shame - by that I mean that he got back here. Now the compensation claim.... well there's a surprise, eh. He was here illegally so why does he have any rights whatsover.

British citizens did it to the Australians years ago and were welcomed.....Just as long as WE were prepared to accept THEIR way of life. 2/ I do NOT begrudge people from other countries coming here to work LEGALLY and enjoy the same rights as I have. To go to school, get up every morning and do a full days work, and pay TAXES like the rest of us, regardless of the race, creed, colour or religion. I have lived in London ALL of my life, having been born here I consider this MY country but over the years I have come to begrudge ALL of the spongers and people from various countries around the world who are not happy in their own country but want to turn OUR country into one like Theirs......it don't make sense. If they can't enter the UK Legally then they will get in by any means possible, work in the "Black Economy". (or am I not allowed to use the word BLACK in that context either now?) Whilst out shopping recently I ventured to ask a young black man sitting in his car with a baby in a car seat if he was entitled to be parked in a DISABLED PARKING BAY, and was none to politiely told "F*&K off you HONKEY, what's it got to do with you where I park"......WOW, Now if I wasn't WHITE I might have considered that as racial abuse. YES, i do begrudge being treated WORSE than a forigner in my own country by people like this. Binyan Mohamed MAY have been given indefinite leave to stay here but I think he gave up that right the day he left the country on a false passport. if he "wanted OUT" then he should have stayed out....the mere fact of where he was found and what he might have been up to in such suspicious circumstances beggers believe that the UK will now fly him back, private jet and personal escorts....WHY.....Were they worried he WERN'T going to want to come back here? NOT A PROBLEM......maybe his next flight will be one OUT of the UK on a permament basis....to anywhere in the world who will have him. He sure isn't contributing anything to the economy here and the only person he wants to help, is himself!....to MY money, YOUR money and anyone elses who will help fund a lifesyle he could never hope to achieve on his own merits. I read a comment on here that IF he had been killed whilst on his travels abroad this matter would never have come to light and he would be just another statistic. COMPENSATION?? if he would like some "compensation" perhaps he would like to stay in this country and work and pay taxes and then he will get the same "compensation" the rest of us get at the end of our working lives..... A STATE PENSION!. 1/ I am NOT against Immigration. British citizens did it to the Australians years ago and were welcomed…..Just as long as WE were prepared to accept THEIR way of life.

Extremists can say whatever they like about us natural born Brits ( Natural born Brits includes black white and any other colour that was born here and really wants to contribute to a peaceful Britain) but don't you dare say a thing out of place as a natural born Brit about anybody else that may be destroying your Identity. That was proved the other day when our brave troops that fight for domocracy and freedom of speach had to listen to taunts and abuse from extremist gobshites who have the fortune to be staying in a country like ours, if they really want to contribute then they should go and help in the countries they feel are being abused.
